My hood is getting little care over the winter months.

Due to me adding the Hex Vents and the T3 Ports the felt liner under the hood lost half the supports to hold it in place. Well after 3 years the thing fell off and looked horrible.

So i was left with no liner under the hood and if anyone has ever looked under there before, they didn't exactly paint the underside. The edges of the under hood were painted, but the center was basically all over spray and wasn't pleasant to look at the support beams.

So I bought this product from ACS

This is a composite (kinda like fiberglass but not) piece. We are in the process of cutting out the holes to make way for the 4 ports in the hood.

Once that is completed the liner will be painted Orange to match the car and cleared!! So when you open the hood it will surely be show worthy.

Should be completed within the next 2 weeks or so.

Stay tuned!

Nice, but I think the cam will shake it out of the hood, JK

Oh and Since Ted chimed In here

Ill report that i did get the quote for the 4th Stage to my Motor Build!!!

Going with the JRE Road Race Cam Package and dropping pulley down 1 more from 3.0 to a 2.8.

Shooting for fall early next spring install

Currently sitting at 606whp with cutouts open, Think it was around 596ish with them closed.

Should be in the 680-700 range when installed. Should be interesting to drive!!! haha

Oh yea....those things haven't moved!!!

I love this build, as you have done many things to your car and they are not over the top and really makes your car stand out among the rest of us. I really like the gauge pack that you have and will be getting that for mine as well.

Thanks Bud!!

Get ahold of Carlos, he's the owner/maker of Ortiz gauges. He will hand make you a bezel. One thing tho, make sure you let him know the depth of your gauges. That way the fit perfect!!!

Good Luck bud!

Thank you for the advice and I will get that to him. How do you like them in comparison to the pillar of you had them before. I like these as the weight of the ones for the pillar seem to much for that design and the one I have makes the pillar fall.

Black Knight · 03-16-2016, 06:35 PM

Yea mine too . I hate it makes the interior look cheap ,

TRC-SS · 03-17-2016, 07:47 AM

I didn't have a pillar pod. I went straight to this. Looks great, don't have to worry about anything falling on you, and its different. No one else has it.

I was the test dummy and first one to get this. I love it.
